What is a Jewelry Keepsake?
From Jewelry Keepsakes:"Jewelry Keepsakes are a unique and innovative way to have a small remembrance of your loved one with you at all times. Our line of pendants, rings, and bracelets will hold a small tribute to your loved one inside of a beautiful piece of remembrance jewelry. Your precious remembrance can be a small amount of  cremains, some dried flowers from a funeral arrangement, a lock of hair or even some sacred ground from the burial site. This kind of versatility allows you to commemorate the life of your loved one whether they are cremated or buried and to do so with a beautiful and sentimental Jewelry Keepsake." 

"When you lose a loved one you often long for a tangible reminder of them that you can have with you at all times.  Jewelry Keepsakes are a very personal and intimate reminder of your loved one that you can wear close to your heart on a daily basis. Our jewelry looks just like regular jewelry, but it has a hidden compartment inside the actual jewelry that is accessible through a small opening. Your memory of your loved one is secured inside the small compartment and kept safe with a threaded stopper. With every keepsake we send instructions on how to fill it, a funnel and filling stick to assist in filling it, and sealant to permanently seal it. You wear your cremation jewelry just as you would any other jewelry accessory."

"Jewelry Keepsakes come in a variety of different options.  Our keepsakes are available in Sterling Silver, 14 Karat Gold, Pewter, Titanium, Stainless Steel and Brass.  You can personalize your pendant with a select amount of engraving, as well as choose among several other options as well." 

"Jewelry Keepsakes provides a wonderful opportunity to remember your loved one in a personal and intimate way. Our large array of pendants, rings, and bracelets allows you to find with ease that special keepsake that truly captures the life and spirit of your loved one, creating a treasured family heirloom to be passed down to generations to come."

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:Our gorgeous copper plated Buddy Heart pet memorial jewelry can be a touching way to remember a special pet in your life that has passed. Each copper plated Buddy Heart pet cremation keepsake comes with a matching chain and a kit that will help you to fill and seal your beloved pets ashes safely inside the small chamber. Size: 3/4" w x 1" h

With the help of the most PATIENT WOMAN IN THE WORLD at Jewelry Keepsakes, I chose the Copper Buddy Heart to wear in memory of my Angel Bobo.  I already have an urn that contains Bobo's ashes, and  didn't want to upset the ashes by opening the urn after so many years, so I decided to use some of Bobo's fur instead.

I had fur saved that the vet had clipped the day Bobo passed, (I store it in a porcelain heart container). I took out some of the fur, and with the funnel and stick that were included with my pendant, (see below),  I was able to put some of Bobo's fur in the Copper Buddy Heart.

I ADORE IT!!!

The chain is the PERFECT length! I love it because the chain is longer than many of my other pieces of jewelry, I love how it dangles further down my neck. Tears filled my eyes when I put it on after inserting Bobo's fur. Now I can keep him close to me every day. This pendant means the WORLD to me! The fact that it arrived right around the anniversary of Bobo's death is yet again, NOT a coincidence.

Cat Horoscopes July 2014

It’s the heart of the summer, the sun is out, and passion is in the air. July is usually a very charged month for not only humans but our cat companions as well. Find out what the pet psychics at Hollywood Psychics see in the stars and what they have in store for your ball of fur this sunny month!



Aries:
After an eight month visit, Mars will be leavings Aries near the end of July. The already headstrong Aries cat has been even more charged with its presence, however at the cat-tail end of the month you can breathe easy again and no longer walk on eggshells. The high energy of Mars will keep Aries cats active; just make sure they don’t hurt themselves!

Taurus:
For most of the month you can expect that Taurus cats – often slothful and stuck in their ways (much like their human counterparts) – will be slightly more demanding. Surprise them with their favorite treat and give an extra helping of cat food every so often and the relationship should go smoothly.

Gemini:
You can expect to see Mr. Hyde this month; dual-natured Gemini cats will be prone to more positivity and pleasantness through the influence of Venus. On top of that, Mercury will no longer be in retrograde starting in July, which will positively affect Gemini cats’ energy levels. Rest assured that these vocal cats are meowing from a good place this month!

Cancer:
Cancer cats will begin to resume their homebody tendencies throughout the month due to Jupiter’s departure from the sign. Near the middle of the month, Venus will also sway these cats to be more harmonious, cooperative, and affectionate. Their return to a more customary state of mind will also lower these cats’ stress.

Leo:
A progressive month is in store for these lions – as well as for the year following. Near the middle of the month, Jupiter will enter Leo; this will cause more energy (yes, MORE energy), optimism, and them having the astrological odds in their favor. They will instinctively get their way more often, however they will rarely do so from a bad place because Jupiter’s influence is a good one. This rush of energy in the latter half of July may make these feisty felines more prone to accidents, so keep a constant vigilance!

Virgo:
The ruler of Virgo – Mercury – will be in close proximity to Venus throughout July. This will cause the normally practical and more stoic Virgo cat to loosen up; they will demand more love and affection from their human companions. You can anticipate more cuddle time with your cat this month. This positive rush of emotion will also calm Virgo cats and lead to less stress-related health issues.



Libra:
Libra cats will be having a tumultuous July. The influence of Venus will make love a big theme; relationships with human companions and other household pets will be in the spotlight. However, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a good spotlight. The best advice for Libra cat owners in July is to pick your battles, show lots of love and affection, and be patient with these finicky felines; this way you can be more certain that the spotlight will be a positive one!

Scorpio:
Scorpio cats are generally very good at knowing what is on their humans’ minds and are aware of their surroundings. In July, the position of Venus will cause these cats to suddenly need to understand any of those open-ended mysteries about their humans or homes and they will need be investigated. Your normally loyal companion will still be by your side, however expect them to be a bit more curious about some of your actions.

Sagittarius:
July will be a split month for Sagittarius kitties. For the first half, Venus will cause them to be more loving, affectionate, and appreciative of their relationships. Mercury will also be influencing this sign in July. For humans, this cosmic shift will stimulate communication; for cats this will manifest in them to trying to get your attention in other ways such a broad range of meows or possibly being a bit mischievous. The second half of the month, as the planets shift, will lead Sagittarius cats to a calmer and more subtle energy. Be patient and receptive during the beginning of July and the second half will be positive-peaceful.

Capricorn:
Capricorn cats will loosen up their proper and wise demeanor in July. The Sun will make the necessity of close relationships take shape, and with a good human (or animal) companion, these cats will be at peace this month. Also, the positioning of Venus will provide positive influence to Capricorn cats’ relationships, leading to stronger companionships.

Aquarius:
Venus’ presence in Aquarius during July will take these already emotional cats’ personalities to the next level. They will be breaming with love, affection, and sentiment. Normally slightly rebellious, these sometimes crazy cats will take it down a notch and simply enjoy a nap on your lap or following you around while you tend to the house.

Pisces:
The combination of Jupiter and the Sun being present in Pisces will emotionally propel these cats; the ocean of emotion and feelings behind these cats’ eyes will surface and lead to a visibly more energetic and charged cat. They often seem to be in another world, but they are here on Earth in July and want you to know it! All of this physical energy will make these cats in good shape, but their unfamiliar visit to Earth may lead to injuries so be sure to pay extra attention.



July looks to be an eventful month for our feline friends, full of energy and love. If you want to gain more understanding of what is to come, you can also speak with a phone psychic from Hollywood Psychics to get a more comprehensive pet astrological reading.
